摘要
One embodiment of system that proactively protects computers from storm-related electrical damage. System includes chassis housing microchip and circuitry; software application installed on computer; and cloud-based server. Server scans online weather services for local weather alerts. When server sends alert to software application, based on computer location, application turns computer off and wirelessly instructs chassis to disconnect computer from power supply—before storm arrives. One embodiment uses a hub-and-spoke workflow that periodically scans once and routes alerts to users' software applications in affected locations only. Protection system scans every few minutes so even fast-moving storms are not missed, yet system neither overloads weather service servers nor incurs excessive usage fees. System also protects other appliances with wireless connectivity. Improvement to other known systems which: scan for alerts for users individually; omit a scanning process; or turn computers off or disconnect them from power supplies, but typically not both.
